War
erupts in this bittersweet sequel to "Of Metal and Wishes", inspired by
The Phantom of the Opera and called “relentlessly engrossing” by The
Romantic Times.In the year since the collapse of the
slaughterhouse where Wen worked as her father’s medical assistant, she’s
held all her secrets close. She works in the clinic at the weapons
factory and sneaks away to nurse Bo, once the Ghost, now a boy
determined to transform himself into a living machine. Their strange,
fragile friendship soothes some of the ache of missing Melik, the
strong-willed Noor who walked away from Wen all those months ago—but it
can’t quell her fears for him.The Noor are waging a rebellion in
the west. When she overhears plans to crush Melik’s people with the
powerful war machines created at the factory, Wen makes the painful
decision to leave behind all she has known—including Bo—to warn them.
But the farther she journeys into the warzone, the more confusing things
become. A year of brutality seems to have changed Melik, and Wen has a
decision to make about him and his people: How much is she willing to
sacrifice to save them from complete annihilation?------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Pq ce livre?

old. The Death Code introduces a memorable cast of secondary characters and delivers a vivid and scary thrill ride read.------------------------------------------------------Pq ce livre? J'hésite encore à craquer sur cette suite, le premier tome n'était pas ouf ouf mais se lisait facilement donc on verra.

Antony and Cleopatra. Helen of Troy and Paris. Romeo and Juliet. And now . . . Henry and Flora.

For
centuries Love and Death have chosen their players. They have set the
rules, rolled the dice, and kept close, ready to influence, angling for
supremacy. And Death has always won. Always.

Could there ever be one time, one place, one pair whose love would truly tip the balance?

Meet
Flora Saudade, an African-American girl who dreams of becoming the next
Amelia Earhart by day and sings in the smoky jazz clubs of Seattle by
night. Meet Henry Bishop, born a few blocks and a million worlds away, a
white boy with his future assured — a wealthy adoptive family in the
midst of the Great Depression, a college scholarship, and all the
opportunities in the world seemingly available to him.

Held
captive in the barbarian kingdom of Venda, Lia and Rafe have little
chance of escape. Desperate to save her life, Lia's erstwhile assassin,
Kaden, has told the Vendan Komizar that she has the gift, and the
Komizar's interest in Lia is greater than anyone could have foreseen.

Meanwhile,
nothing is straightforward: there's Rafe, who lied to Lia, but has
sacrificed his freedom to protect her; Kaden, who meant to assassinate
her but has now saved her life; and the Vendans, whom Lia always
believed to be barbarians. Now that she lives amongst them, however, she
realizes that may be far from the truth. Wrestling with her upbringing,
her gift, and her sense of self, Lia must make powerful choices that
will affect her country... and her own destiny.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Pq ce livre? Le premier a été une excellente surprise et j'ai vraiment hâte de lire cette suite qui s'annonce riche en couleur. Par contre je ne suis pas super fan de la couverture.

One
girl. Two stories. Meet Fiona Doyle. The thick ridges of scar tissue on
her face are from an accident twelve years ago. Fiona has notebooks full
of songs she’s written about her frustrations, her dreams, and about
her massive crush on beautiful uber-jock Trent McKinnon. If she can’t
even find the courage to look Trent straight in his beautiful blue eyes,
she sure isn’t brave enough to play or sing any of her songs in public.
But something’s changing in Fiona. She can’t be defined by her scars
anymore.

And what if there hadn’t been an accident? Meet Fi
Doyle. Fi is the top-rated female high school lacrosse player in the
state, heading straight to Northwestern on a full ride. She’s got more
important things to deal with than her best friend Trent McKinnon, who’s
been different ever since the kiss. When her luck goes south, even
lacrosse can’t define her anymore. When you’ve always been the best at
something, one dumb move can screw everything up. Can Fi fight back?

Jessamy's
life is a balance between acting like an upper class Patron and
dreaming of the freedom of the Commoners. But at night she can be
whoever she wants when she sneaks out to train for The Fives, an
intricate, multi-level athletic competition that offers a chance for
glory to the kingdom's best competitors. Then Jes meets Kalliarkos, and
an unlikely friendship between a girl of mixed race and a Patron boy
causes heads to turn. When a scheming lord tears Jes's family apart,
she'll have to test Kal's loyalty and risk the vengeance of a powerful
clan to save her mother and sisters from certain death.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Pq ce livre?
J'ai un peu plus de doutes pour ce livre, l'histoire à l'air assez classique aus premiers abords mais je verrai selon les premières critiques ce que ça vaut.

Every
dawn brings horror to a different family in a land ruled by a killer.
Khalid, the eighteen-year-old Caliph of Khorasan, takes a new bride each
night only to have her executed at sunrise. So it is a suspicious

she does so with a clever plan to stay alive and exact revenge on the
Caliph for the murder of her best friend and countless other girls.

have seen, but with a catch . . . she’s falling in love with the very
boy who killed her dearest friend.

She discovers that the
murderous boy-king is not all that he seems and neither are the deaths
of so many girls. Shazi is determined to uncover the reason for the
murders and to break the cycle once and for all.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Pq ce livre? C'est une réécriture d'un conte que je ne connais pas du tout, le résumé m'attire même si la partie romance me semble un peu classique, puis ça change d'ambiance. Par contre la couv' est pas ouf

Stella
Cambren is the lucky one. When she was a kid, Stella and her friend
Jeanie vanished while picking strawberries. Stella came back without
any memory of what happened. Jeanie never did.

Eleven years
later, Stella is over it—mostly. She can’t remember a time when people
didn’t look at her with a question in their eyes. But she has a summer
full of cove days ahead of her, a best friend with a devil-may-care
attitude, and a maybe-crush on a gorgeous, popular guy. All Stella wants
is to have the best summer of her life. Jeanie’s fate is lost in the
black hole of her mind. It’s nothing but the past.

That is, until
the fresh corpse of a little girl is found, one with eerie similarities
to Jeanie, and Stella’s memories start coming back in fits and starts.
As Stella begins to uncover the truth about the day Jeanie vanished, she
discovers a bread crumb trail of disappearances going back generations.

Stella thinks remembering what happened to Jeanie will save her. It won’t. She used to know better than to believe in what slinks through the shadows. Not anymore. And before the summer is over, Stella will learn that if you hunt for monsters, you’ll find them.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Pq ce livre? Parce qu'un Thriller pour faire une pause c'est pas mal, le résumé n'offre pas forcément quelques chose de nouveaux mais les premières critiques sont positives.

a hallucination. She can hear someone on the ship calling her name.

Aza’s hands lies the fate of the whole of humanity—including the boy who
